Thoughts and things

[unixronin]

Ever wondered about why we, as a race, can act like such complete assholes to people we don't know?  It's all about the monkeysphere.

Ever wanted an invisibility cloak, or a cloaking device?  Now you can have one... just so long as whatever you want to make invisible is the size of a single wavelength of light, and you only need to make it invisible in monochromatic light.

Thankfulness?  Sure, for unexpected words of appreciation when you really, really need them.  Compensated for by frustrations including having to decline an interview for a job because it paid so little I could not have stayed at it anyway, because I couldn't possibly have supported cymrullewes and the girls on it in the Bay Area.

Try Duluth, MN / Superior, WI. Short on mountains, but there's nice hills. Lake Superior is a decently large body of water (you can't really see across it easily), and the property values are fairly low. And there's snow. I can't give you much else in terms of the rest of your desires, but it really is a very lovely area.

There are computer positions available, for people with experience - if you want, I can try and ask my brothers if they know if anything opening up. Since one of them owns a large-system shop, he might.

I'm not sure what you do, cymrullewes, but if it's got to do with construction and design (extrapolated from your comment), then there's probably work out there. The cities are trying to recreate themselves a little bit, so there's been some restoration and reconstruction happening. They're also very supportive of hand-crafted items, too.

Just an offer, if you want it. I've also got contacts in Minneapolis/St. Paul, and Phoenix or Sedona (Arizona). I don't recommend Seattle - we've got mountains and ocean, but not much in the way of open tech jobs right now. My other contacts are either out of touch just now or in Iraq.

unixronin asked that you please do. He's too busy right now to do much of anything.

I am a construction manager. I can write complete bid packages from the estimating of costs to the scheduling of resources to writing the contracts.
